Yacht Charter Broker Shows; What’s it all About?
Spring time and it is off to industry only Yacht Charter Shows. This season, Brokers at Northrop and Johnson are off to Genoa, Italy to inspect the fleet for the Western Mediterranean 2009 summer season and review upcoming charters with the Captains and crews, and then to Marmaris, Turkey to inspect the fleet of yachts and Gulets for the southern coast of Turkey. We are then cruising along the coast of Turkey from Marmaris to Bodrum to become reacquainted with our favorite spots along that coast. We are the most excited to revisit the ancient site of the city of Knidos, once home to the famous Temple for Aphrodite, and check any new excavations.

Marmaris International Yacht Charter Show
Information, Information, Information. As a Yacht Charter Broker, we are really all about information, and, our goal at Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters is to have the BEST INFORMATION.
The following are very important questions that we hear from our clients:
- What is the best yacht and crew for our upcoming charter?
- What will we do and see while on our charter?
- My favorite Captain is Captain Ron, is he still running a yacht for charter?
- We have important food requirements, what are the qualifications of the Chef?
- Is this charter location safe?
These questions, and many more, are all important questions to ask about your yacht charter interest, and we want to have the best answers. Yacht Charter is not a product that can be stored on the shelf, so we travel to find those answers. At the opening of the main yacht charter season for each worldwide area, our industry organizes “industry only” Yacht Charter Shows. Entered into the show are yachts for charter that will be available for charter in that area for the upcoming season with their Captain and full crew on board. Also attending the show are various industry members that are have support business for yacht charter, such as location ship agents, marina operators, provisioners, etc. with whom we can meet during the time period to hear new news, discuss upcoming charters, and make any final arrangements needed on a personal basis.
The attending yachts are all lined up along the quay and open for Charter Broker visits, with the yacht and crew outfitted as they would be when you, the Charterer are on board. As the Charter Broker, we see old friends, meet new friends, talk about previous charters, plan upcoming charters, and check condition and maintenance. All the while making sure that yachts we see should still be on our list of recommended yachts for charter or are, perhaps, a great new addition to our list.
